Research opportunities
Currently I'm particular focus on the following research areas:
1. Cognitive and human-centred autonomous systems, theories and technologies in trustworthy and explainable AI for human-autonomy collaboration framework and interface design.
2. Computer vision for human behaviour modelling (including computational approaches for human situation awareness, intention, emotion, and workload).
3. Computer vision for autonomous vehicles (including segmentation, object detection, and generative visual augmentation) with multimodal foundation models and large language models.
4. Applied machine learning/deep learning theories, design, and evaluation for safer and sustainable autonomous vehicles (air/ground) and intelligent transportation systems.
